Anyone use daycare in the Lansdale / North Wales area?

I'm currently looking at The Malvern School, Chesterbrook Academy, and North Wales Academy so far...  Anyone have feedback?  Or other suggestions of area daycares?

thanks!

    We selected NWA, but haven't been there yet (see ticker)  We also visited: Play and Learn (really liked it but it was older than NWA so DH wanted the "cleaner/newer" place) We also checked out: Castle Academy in Skippack.  I LOVED it there, but they didn't do part time care and at this point we only need/want 3 day a week care.  We didn't look at Malvern because it wasn't located where we needed it.

    We also looked at the daycare at the Family Worship Center on Troxel Road.  I just felt it was too big.

     

    DH and I made all of our appts for about 8- 8:30 in the AM.  My advice would be to go more towards 10-11 am, most kids are dropped off by then and all of the teaching staff is there so you get to see actually what they do.  When we went there was usually only 1-3 kids in the whole complex or room.

     

    Pros to NWA- they cloth diaper, their price, the "newness" of the building, friendly staff, day care and preschool, flexible hours (not locked in to only 8 or 9 hours) so far a light kid caseload because of being newer, child led curriculum, they clean the toys often, secure entrance, location.

    Cons- not open super long, but by the time LO gets there they will have about a year under their belt.
